Warren Buffett's Berkshire further reduces stake in BofA to less than 10%

Billionaire Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway divested itself of more Bank of America shares this week, taking its stake in the US bank to less than 10%.

A Berkshire sold 9.5 million shares valued at US$382.4 million this week, according to a regulatory document released this Thursday.

The SEC, the US capital markets regulator, requires that only shareholders holding more than 10% of a company disclose purchases and sales of shares within two business days.

Now, BofA investors will likely have to wait for Berkshire's quarterly financial statements or quarterly shareholding disclosures to find out whether the Omaha, Nebraska-based company has sold more shares.

The company began reducing its holdings in mid-July, when it sold about 33.9 million shares for about $1.48 billion. By then, the investment giant had raised more than 10 billion dollars.
